MRTG Reports for Sensatronics, ZTE, & Huawei

Since this topic has come up several times over the last few weeks, I’ve decided to blog about creating custom report templates in Denika, our MRTG Performance Trender.

The first request was for monitoring Sensatronics temperature probes. And then today we received the following request on our forums:

“Are there any way to make denika support mibs of ZTE or Huawei? Can i edit the template by some way, or some other method is available?”

And the answer is Yes, you can create new device and report templates with Denika. For Sensatronics, ZTE, Huawei, and other vendors also. If they support SNMP, we can monitor them. All you need is the IP Address, OID string, and the SNMP Credential for the device.

We have talked for a long time about the benefits of using Cisco IPSLA as a proactive method of reliably measuring network performance. Raul Duran wrote a series of blogs talking about the use of IPSLA operations, and believes that IPSLA should be a part of every Network Administrator’s toolbox.

Cisco Systems 7600 Series and NetFlow – Not an ordinary router

“Why don’t I see my VLAN traffic?” was the question one of our customers asked me the other day. Although other Cisco models were exporting flows properly, it seemed that all of his Cisco 7600s were under reporting traffic.
